Syzygium australe ‘PC1’ Backyard Bliss™ (Backyard Bliss Lilly Pilly)

Syzygium australe ‘PC1’ Backyard Bliss™ is a fast-growing Australian native shrub selected for its dense, compact growth and excellent performance as a hedge or privacy screen. It produces glossy, deep-green foliage with attractive reddish-bronze new growth, creating year-round colour and structure. Small white flowers may appear during spring and summer, followed by decorative pink to red berries when the plant is not heavily clipped.

Backyard Bliss™ is particularly valued for its reported resistance to Lilly Pilly psyllids, helping its foliage remain cleaner and more attractive. Its naturally upright, bushy form requires less shaping than many traditional Lilly Pillies while still responding well to pruning. It is an excellent choice for boundary hedges, narrow screens, formal gardens and urban landscapes where reliable evergreen coverage is needed.
